| - I hate giving bad reviews, I really do. I mean, I gave Del Taco and Vons supermarket 4 stars, so its not exactly like Im ballbuster. KGB however, should be interrogated and beaten or at the very least sent back to Russia until it can figure out what decent food is.
The premise is kind of cool. Celebrity Chef Kerry Simon decided to do a gourmet burger joint and using an acronym with his name call it KGB (Kerry's Gourmet Burgers). The waiters and waitresses all look like comrades and the joint is decorated if Andy Warhol produced communist propaganda. But like communism, my enthusiasm waned after but a short time.
I should have known we were in trouble when the waitress taking our drink orders upon my friend asking for a vodka and soda asked if Pepsi was ok. I mean I could understand such a ridiculous question elsewhere but this place bills itself as a VODKA bar and she asked if Pepsi was sufficient for a Vodka & soda. Much like the Soviets invading Afghanistan, this was the beginning of the end. The menu was interesting enough with a mix of burger specialties and the a build your own option. The burgers they had were unique and so I opted for the Thanksgiving one. This was a turkey patty with stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy on a hamburger bun. I thought like a Bobbie at Capriotti's. My friends ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandiwich and a Cobb Salad burger as well. We also started off with this Buffalo Chicken roll appetizer which inspired one word out of me...nyet!
Besides being greasy, which usually I dont mind, there were some vegetables frozen in the center. Really Mr. Simon, frozen vegetables? Then the burgers came out and my Thanksgiving option was a mess. I understand that such a combination will not exactly be the easiest thing to eat but the bun was already soggy by the time it got out to me and eating it was as fun as spending a year in a gulag. Fries do come with the burgers but the portion is relatively small and they're nothing to write home about. The hamburgers tasted ok I suppose, but it was hard to tell what I was ingesting because it had become one giant mess after a few short minutes.
The burgers arent cheap here, 14 bucks give or take, and its on the strip but if the food is going to be so uninspired at least charge us in Rubles. I now the restaurant is young and its still might be going through some growing pains but man, I havent been this disappointed since Police Academy 3. Maybe there is a reason Simon's places keep closing down...all I know is that if KGB doesn't make some changes, there might be revolution.
There are so many other great burger places in Vegas, I have to say KGB isnt worth the time.
You know my motto...better dead than red!
